                       HONORING MAYOR FREDDY PUZA

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. SYDNEY KAMLAGER-DOVE

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 13, 2026

  Ms. KAMLAGER-DOVE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the new mayor 
of Culver City in my district, Freddy Puza.
  First as a Councilmember and most recently as Vice Mayor, Freddy has 
relentlessly fought for a more inclusive, vibrant, and equitable Culver 
City. His unwavering leadership and compassion are exactly what Culver 
City deserves in its next mayor.
  His accession to Mayor represents visibility, dignity, and hope that 
extend far beyond the boundaries of my district. As the first openly 
gay Mayor in Culver City's 108-year history, he paves the way for 
future generations of LGBTQ+ youth to see themselves reflected in 
public service and civic life.
  I look forward to working alongside Mayor Puza as we serve the Culver 
City community together in the year ahead.
